From what I understood, when the Repubs voted no, Martial Law was invoked.
That is what those video clips from the congressmen are saying. They were told, if they didn’t vote yes, martial law would be used.
That last vote doesn’t show Martial Law being repealed either. Which means, it is still in place.
This is the rewrite:
The treasury monies supposidly went into the Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
No one was going to say otherwise. LOOK:

I’m trying to understand this and am a bit behind, as usual. Wasn’t this for the one day, the 13th?
